I totally fucked my engine up with 8 psi, because I planned on upgrading the internals anyway and wasn't careful with the tuning. The engine has so much blow-by now that it starts to lose oil pressure at anything over 70 mph. (I still drive it though, and it still overpowers the tires halfway through first...but not in second anymore) Anyway, I am curious to know how much hp/torque I could have produced had I kept the engine from knocking, and with the A/F around 12.5:1 or so. This goes out to Justin, Johnny O, Sean, and anyone else who has turboed their internally stock accord. Is it worth it to drop in another stock short block, or do I have to drop $1400 on upgraded internals? If the stock short block can handle 250 hp, then I'll stick with it for now. By the way, I don't want to come across all snooty, but seriously, I don't want to hear just bullshit speculation on this. I want to hear about someone who blew their engine while monitoring it with a wideband 02 sensor, and with knock control. Otherwise, it doesn't mean shit, because if I wanted to, I could blow my accord engine with only like 4 psi, too much timing, not enough fuel, that's all it takes.
